October is Family History Month, and we're showing you the wealth of library resources you can use to find YOUR family's history!

Funeral home records are often overlooked or forgotten when looking for genealogical information. However, funeral home files can reveal important clues that can help build your extended family tree and find your ancestor's friends, loved ones and neighbors. Learn about where to find funeral home collections, what they may contain, and how you can learn more about your family's past.
